Warren’s Biggest Morning Tea, with 100 locals coming together

Big success for local kids, at CWA Far West’s “Speak Out” STORY & PHOTOS: PAGE 16

Roll-up! The biggest crowd in years, at annual Warren Show

By HARRIET GILMORE By HARRIET GILMORE

MORE than 100 locals came together in the garden of Patricia Plunkett for the annual Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea, raising vital money for the Cancer Council and Warren’s Palliative Care Support Group. More than $2000 was eventually fundraised from the event, with Mary-Anne Brennan from the Palliative Care Group, and the sister of the host, Patricia Plunkett, both saying they were thrilled with the success of the event. “What a hugely successful day,” they enthused. “The amazing generosity of our community, raising more than $2000 for the Cancer Council, and a generous amount from the raffles, to our local Palliative Care group,” they added. Raffle winners on the day included Raymond Burns and Barbara Bolton, with the Lucky Door Prize going to Shirley Toddhunter and the Guessing Competition, to Michael McKay.

THE largest crowd in years flocked to the Showground on Saturday for the 144th annual Warren Show, with hundreds of locals and visitors enjoying a fun day out in beautiful autumn sunshine. While an exact attendance figure through the gate was not yet available, Justin Sanderson, President of Warren Pastoral and Agriculture Association — organisers of the annual Show — said numbers across-the-board, were up on recent outings. “What a fantastic day!” Mr Sanderson enthused. “What a solid crowd, definitely bigger than previous years,” he added. Mr Sanderson also congratulated champion contributors to this year’s Show. “Well done to Janice Oriel, winner of the Presidents Cup, she was an outstanding competitor in the Pavilion this year. Sideshow Alley was a hot favourite for families. PHOTO: WARREN STAR.

Welcome, Chieko, Warren’s, Rethinking newest Australian citizen God FAITH MATTERS

By ANNITA CAMPBELL I wonder what you say about yourself when you are fi rst introduced to someone new? What is it that you want people to know about you? We all like to be known for who we really are. We don’t like to be misunderstood. God is no different. In the book of Exodus in the Bible there is a story of a guy named Moses meeting God on a mountain called Sinai. Moses is standing there with the Ten Commandments chiselled into plates of stone. As he passes Moses by in a cloud, God audibly speaks about himself. Among other things, God says he is “the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness.” How does this description fit with the ideas you have of God? Did you have him pegged as ‘quick to be cranky’ and ‘not all that loving’? If he is what he says he is, then this God is far more appealing than the alternatives. Over a series of articles, I’ll be sharing some of the things that God has about himself so we can know him better. Let’s not judge God by the book cover of our imagination. He wants to be known for who he really is. This conversation between God and Moses can be found in Exodus 34:1-7

for any new Australian citizen, where they make a pledge of commitment. Ms Lynch said she was very proud to be an Australian, after accepting her Citizenship Certificate and a special welcome gift from Cr Quigley, a protea plant, before celebrating the milestone with her family.

Warren Meals on Wheels and Warren Community Transport, enjoyed a delicious morning tea in the sunshine at the soon-to-be-open new cafe at the Windows on the Wetlands Centre; a small token of thanks for all of their tireless service.

Jayne Wilson from Warren Meals on Wheels, and Clara Cosgrove from Warren Community Transport, said in a joint acknowledgement to the volunteers, they were incredibly grateful to all those who help and support them in these organisations. “We are so grateful for our amazing volunteers who bring so much dedication and passion to our community, our volunteers are truly wonderful people,” they stated. “Warren Meals on Wheels and Warren Community Transport are run by a local joint management committee who generously give their time to support our services,” they added. But, they emphasised, new blood is very welcome in such groups. “We are always looking for new volunteers to take on different roles within our organisations. “It's an honour to serve you, and we're committed to providing the best service and support possible,” they concluded. As part of the National Volunteers Week celebrations, it was also announced that Warren Meals on Wheels would also be receiving a

funding boost. The group were one of 31 organisations announced by Federal Member for Parkes, Mark Coulton, in the lead-up to National Volunteers Week, to benefit from the funding boost under the Australian Government’s 2023/24 Volunteer Grants program. Warren Meals on Wheels are set to receive $1000 through the grants program with Mr Coulton also revealed earlier in the month, that almost $70,000 in funding had been approved for the groups in the Parkes electorate. “Congratulations to each of the successful groups who have received a much-needed funding boost,” Mr Coulton said. “I know many of our local organisations have been struggling during the current cost-of-living crisis as fewer people have the capacity to donate, while their own bills continue to rise,” he added. These grants, he said, would help ease some of that pressure and help local community groups to invest in projects to enable them to continue the great work they do in the electorate. “Our volunteer groups

“Volunteering has a strong presence throughout the Parkes electorate, whether it be helping out with local sporting teams and land care groups, responding to natural disasters or other emergencies, or helping local charities support some of our most disadvantaged people,” Mr Coulton said

Dubbo expansion heralds the next step for Three Rivers Machinery THIS month has heralded the start of an exciting new chapter for well known central-west agricultural equipment supplier Three Rivers Machinery, which has assumed ownership of Geronimo Farm Equipment in Dubbo. It also marks 40 years in business for principals John and Bronwyn Plunkett from Warren, whose family-owned business has gone from strength to strength in recent years. As well as taking over the New Holland franchise from the previous franchisee, Three Rivers Machinery will now showcase more CNH brands across their four dealerships located in Warren, Narromine, Gilgandra and Dubbo. Top agricultural equipment

brands including Case IH, New Holland, CASE Construction Equipment, K-Line Ag, Flexi-Coil and Horwood Bagshaw are now available across all four locations. Three Rivers Machinery Dealer Principal, John Plunkett, said the acquisition and expansion of the CNH offering made sense to achieve synergies for his business, while offering customers access to a wider range of machinery. “Offering a more diverse range of products under the CNH banner means we're providing a more complete sales, parts and service solution for the customer base,” Mr Plunkett said. “Our region is a mixture of broadacre, irrigation and mixed farms, including live-

stock. Making the whole CNH range available means we can meet whatever requirements our customers have across the Central West region. Aligning the CNH brands provides Three Rivers Machinery with significant economies of scale for sustainability. “Our service technicians are CNH-trained on both Case IH and New Holland equipment, with technicians and workshops at all four locations, as well as technicians available for on-farm service work,” he added. The Plunkett family has had a continuous line of retail businesses in Warren for 128 years, including hardware, whitegoods, a supermarket, and now machinery. “The Three Rivers team is

led by our eldest daughter, Ruth, and our experienced management team who all live locally,” Mr Plunkett said. “The business is structured in a professional corporate way, with a family business feel. “Our number one objective is to provide quality agricultural equipment to our customers, with the highest level of service and support for the life of their equipment.” CNH Business Director for Agriculture ANZ, Aaron Bett, said farmers in central west NSW were in good hands with Three Rivers Machinery. “John, Bronwyn and Ruth’s years of experience in the agricultural machinery industry guarantees the ultimate experience for every farmer for

all CNH product and service needs,” he said. “The family has deep, generational roots in the farming community and they truly understand their customer’s diverse requirements across the region.” Mr Bett said the addition of the New Holland range to the full range of Case IH products across Three Rivers’ four locations means the region’s farmers are the big winners.

“There’s more choice for local farming operations with our machines known across the industry for innovation and market leading capabilities,” Mr Betts added.

Political News & Opinion COULTON’S ULTON’S CATCH TCH UP Comment ment by K COULTON, MARK Federal ral Member for Parkes arkes

Local sporting champions recognised CONGRATULATIONS to the six young athletes from the Parkes electorate who have received financial assistance to participate in national and international sporting championships. Ella Penman, Jack Deveson, Jacob Fordham, Max Handley and Riley Bond from Dubbo, and Scarlett Molloy from Broken Hill received grants under the Local Sporting Champions program to cover the costs associated with competing at a representative level. Representing their schools and state in athletics, motorcycling, billiards and snooker, futsal, and swimming, these talented young athletes were able to compete in the sport they love without their families having to worry about the fi nancial burden.

The Local Sporting Champions program provides grants of up to $750 for coaches, officials and competitors aged between 12 and 18 who are participating in state, national or international spo-rting championships. Grants can be used to cover the costs of travel, accommodation, uniforms and sporting equipment.

Labor abolishes Mobile Black Spot Program THE Labor government has abolished the Mobile Black Spot Program and provided no ongoing funding for other key regional communications infrastructure programs. The budget papers confi rm that funding for the Mobile Black Spot Program ceases in 2026/27, with zero dollars allocated for 2027/28. There is also no funding beyond 2026/27 for the Better Connectivity Plan which covers a range of programs including for on-farm connectivity and the Regional Tech Hub. Interestingly, the budget papers also reveal plans by the Labor government to ramp up funding for mobile connectivity just in time for the

coming election year before it falls away and then comes to a grinding halt. Improving connectivity for people in the bush is critical and shouldn’t be at the whim of Labor’s political strategy. This comes after 25 of the 26 available grants in NSW were awarded to Labor seats in the previous round of the program. Up until then, the program had provided crucial funding to improve mobile coverage in black spots throughout the Parkes electorate. However, there’s still plenty more dangerous black spots along our rural roads so, I can’t understand how minister Michelle Rowland can in good conscious cut this life-saving program. If anything, more funding is needed, not less and certainly not zero.

Menindee CWA wins Australia Post grant I’M pleased that the Country Women’s Association of NSW Menindee Branch has been awarded a 2024 Australia Post People of Post Grant. The Menindee CWA’s $2000 grant will be used to replace the old fluorescent lighting in the CWA hall with LED lighting. The hall is a vital facility for the entire community, where lo-

cals come together for a variety of events and social functions. This funding will make the hall more energy efficient, lowering electricity bills into the future. The People of Post Grants are open to organisations aligned with one of four of Australia Post’s community focus areas - mental health, disaster support and resil-

ience, Indigenous children’s literacy/learning, and environment and sustainability. Each year, Australia Post team members are invited to nominate a local organisation in their community for a grant of up to $2000. Grants can be used for an approved project that strengthens local communities and creates positive social outcomes.

Wiradjuri Cultural Tourism Centre locked-in after $7 million funding

DUBBO will fi nally get its Wiradjuri Cultural Tourism Centre, with the Australian Government providing more than $7 million for the project. Federal Member for Parkes, Mark Coulton, welcomed the funding announcement, which was made under Round One of the Growing Regions Program. “I’m absolutely thrilled to see that Dubbo Regional Council has been awarded $7,190,505 for the development of the Wiradjuri Cultural Tourism Centre and Keeping Place,” Mr Coulton said. “The centre will include a museum exhibition space, an Aboriginal commercial art gallery, a Yarning Circle, a Keeping Place, and a café, providing locals and visitors with the opportunity to reflect and engage with the Wiradjuri culture,” he added. With Dubbo’s rich Aboriginal heritage, the Wiradjuri Cultural Tourism Centre will provide a safe place for the community to celebrate this

culture through storytelling and art for generations to come, he believes. Dubbo Regional Council Mayor, Councillor Mathew Dickerson, also expressed his excitement at the announcement. “This is Dubbo’s largest single capital project since the Dubbo Regional Theatre and Convention Centre (DRTCC) was completed in 2010,” Cr Dickerson said. “In the case of the theatre, ratepayers funded the project via a rate rise; the Wiradjuri Cultural Tourism Centre is a $15 million facility, but only $2.2 million will be provided by ratepayers, with the Australian Government providing $7.2 million and $5.6 million from the State Government,” he added. He said the Federal funding, is the last piece in the puzzle for the Centre. “We’re thrilled to fully-realise this community project, after Council unanimously resolved in December 2023 to go

ahead with the project, if the grant was successful. “The Wiradjuri Cultural Tourism Centre will be an inclusive space, to celebrate and share traditional and contemporary Wiradjuri culture on Country.” Cr Dickerson revealed that, the Centre is expected to generate a $90 million economic benefit and create up to 160 job opportunities within its fi rst three years. It is also projected to boost national and international tourism, offering cultural experiences to the 1.3 million annual visitors to the Dubbo Region, he added. Dubbo Regional Council is one of five recipients of Round One of the Growing Regions Program from the Parkes electorate. The other successful applicants include Brewarrina Shire Council with $10,069,524 for the Brewarrina PCYC Youth Hub and Indoor Sports Centre; Moree Plains Shire Council with $9,641,761 for

the Moree Artesian Aquatic Centre Redevelopment; the Gunida Gunyah Aboriginal Corporation (Gunnedah) with $2,181,534 for a Community Cultural Hub Project; Narrabri Shire Council with $1,483,112 for Narrabri Shire Tourism and Cultural Precinct, Stages Two and Three; and Walhallow Community Infrastructure Project, Caroona (WCIP) with $1.5 million for the Walhallow Local Aboriginal Land Council, 32km west of Quirindi. The Growing Regions Program provides funding to local government entities and incorporated not-for-profit organisations for capital works projects that deliver community and economic infrastructure projects across regional and rural Australia. NSW Labor Government Duty MLC for Dubbo, Stephen Lawrence, also welcomed the announcement of the funding for the Wiradjuri Cultural Tourism Centre. “This is a project I have been

fighting for over many years,” Mr Lawrence said. “A cultural centre in Dubbo, was a key issue when the thennew Dubbo Regional Council was elected in 2017,” he added. He said that members of that chamber, were strong advocates for the Centre. “Myself, then Councillor, John Ryan, and others, strongly-advocated for it before and after the 2017 Local Government elections, I even took the issue to the 2015 NSW Labor State Conference,” Mr Lawrence said. “The cultural, economic and social benefits of showcasing Aboriginal culture in western NSW, are limitless, and that is why I have been advocating for so long on this issue,” he enthused. He also praised Dubbo Council staff who, he said, “did a wonderful job” in securing funding from the previous State Government to help make the project possible.

ROY’S OY’S OUND-UP ROUND-UP Comment mment by ROY Y BUTLER, te Member State for Barwon

G’day folks, AFTER a couple of backto-back sitting weeks, it was good to get-out into the Electorate last week. I spent some time in Broken Hill, where I talked to ambulance officers, met with Mayor Tom Kennedy, presented a certificate to a centenarian, before f lying back in time for a charity event in Sydney. But this week, I am heading west again to Bourke, Cobar, and Nyngan, before returning to Sydney for another sitting week.

Pharmacists check Parliament’s kidneys DURING the May sitting weeks, Parliament hosted a Pharmaceutical Society of Australia breakfast, themed around looking after your kidneys, given that it was Kidney Health Week (May 11–17). Among those who spoke at the event, was Health Minister, Ryan Park, who told us about the importance of pharmacists and the part they played in his childhood when he suffered a kidney disease. Chris Forbes, Chief Executive Officer of Kidney Health Australia, also spoke about his late father, a country pharmacist who was calledon to do a lot of things that were beyond the normal job description of a pharmacist. Later, the pharmacists offered a series of tests to assess kidney function, blood sugar, blood pressure, and more — I took the tests and, thankfully, I will live a little longer. People might not realise that pharmacists across NSW can conduct health checks for blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol. They do much more than just dispense medicines prescribed by doctors. In fact, the scope of work of pharmacies across NSW, is increasing, which is good news, because for some common, straight-forward, health issues, it can save a trip to hospital or a doctor. In regional communities pharmacies are a key component of the health system, and allowing them to do more in their communities, is a great step forward.

PSA Annual Country Conference RECENTLY, I was invited to speak at the Public Service Association of NSW Annual Country Conference. By way of introduction, I gave them a bit of the history of my 20-year career in the

Public Service ,working in Corrective Services, Disability Services, and as a civilian administrator for the Police. I also talked about the support I have been giving public servants in Parliament and took a few questions from the audience. They had some interesting issues to raise, about pay and conditions, selection processes, and jobs across a range of Public Service agencies. The PSA is fighting against the past trend of centralising Public Services and out-sourcing jobs, which has tended to take a lot of public servants out of regional towns. But I am a passionate supporter of public servants being embedded in communities. When people live locally, the services are better-informed, the policy advice reflects regional issues, and the economic benefits, can help communities be more resilient in drought.

Regional Police ONE thing I believe should be a priority for the NSW Police Force, is ensuring that sector police in smaller stations — those with only one or two people — perform their duties in their sector. Shortages brought about by past recruitment practices, have put pressure on cops and meant that police have had to often be dragged into staffing stations in larger regional centres. But a new approach, will deliver more police to regional NSW and, over time, mean more police on the street. With Class 364 being full — 350 recruits and a 26 per cent increase in applications — I believe we are about to see more police in their communities more often. In our small towns, cops do so much more than their core duties, like running the local PCYC, coaching sporting teams, organising events. And in many communities, these police officers are the only 24/7 Government service. It is vitally important that cops get to stay in those smaller towns to continue to do the work that they do and continue to form a bond with the community.

Notice of Motion to help cleaners IN early May, I went to a rally in Parramatta held by the United Workers Union, which is the union that covers cleaners who work in government institutions like schools and police stations where I promised to take their campaign to Parliament. During the second sitting week in May, I delivered a notice of motion on the floor of the NSW Parliament, to raise awareness of cleaning contracts in NSW. I asked that the House: 1. Acknowledges the impor-

tance of quality cleaning services in public buildings across NSW. 2. Notes the significant failures in the $500m cleaning contract currently with thousands of hours paid for but no service provided. 3. Questions why Government employed cleaning staff are good enough for this Parliament and Hospitals, but not our kids, police or public servants. 4. Urges the Government to employ cleaners directly as public servants. I will continue talking to the relevant ministers to help get the cleaners a better deal than they have been getting.

Worker Housing Inquiry HAVING enough housing for essential workers, is one of the great challenges in Barwon and across NSW. A lack of essential worker housing, affects our ability to staff our health services, schools and police stations and makes it harder to attract workers to regional areas. This week in Parliament, I joined my colleagues Judy Hannan, Helen Dalton, Alex Greenwich, Dr Joe McGirr, Michael Regan, Independent Member for Wakehurst, and representatives from the Health Services Union NSW at a press conference welcoming the NSW Parliament Select Committee Essential Worker Housing Inquiry. The State needs a coordinated plan to create enough housing across the State for our essential workers. There are solutions, but it will take a multi-agency strategy to make them happen. I will be reporting back on the progress of the inquiry. Look out for the call for submissions.

Regional Development Trust ON May 17, the Government announced the fi rst $35 million funding allocation from the $350 million Regional Development Trust. This is a trust fund that will be used to support some important initiatives to boost the “long-term resilience” of regional NSW. The focus of funded projects is on job creation and primary industry expansion. The funding will concentrate on four areas: f Sustainable regional industries, including emerging and job creating industries f Aboriginal economic development and enterprise f Community infrastructure and capacity building f Improving regional service delivery Among the projects, is $15 million for upgrades to Western NSW airstrips. This will mean so-much for our communities out west, particularly health and emergency services, for those in remote areas,

and as an increase in economic development. There is also a $10 million Western NSW Workforce Activation Package to establish, expand, or upgrade, early childhood and education care in three initial local government areas: Bourke, Broken Hill and Cobar. This $10 million will go a long way for families in these communities who want to return to work, but cannot access long day care — this has been a huge issue out-west for a long time. Successful applicants, must demonstrate that funded activities, will increase their ability to offer additional childcare places. A $5 million Aboriginal Economic Development package will also go to supporting Aboriginal businesses and organisations to identify and execute commercial opportunities, leading to improved economic and employment outcomes. Eligible Aboriginal organisations and businesses, can apply to deliver projects that improve economic and employment outcomes, such as upgrades to community-controlled facilities, or the expansion of native food operations. Aboriginal projects are currently under consideration, and the pilot program will commence over the coming months. Growing existing businesses and creating more employment and economic activity, benefits everyone in a community. There is also $5 million to stimulate economic growth and employment in regional NSW. This funding will provide low-interest loans to eligible small and medium businesses in regional NSW. Food and beverage manufacturing small and medium businesses, will be able to apply for loans of between $100,0000 and $1,000,000 with a 2.5 per cent fi xed interest for the life of the loan. This will allow our regional businesses, to invest in new technologies and equipment that increase efficiency and productivity. Regional small businesses said in the roundtable feedback, that they fi nd it difficult to access fi nance from traditional lenders. This funding from the NSW Government, has therefore been developed to make it faster and easier for regional small businesses to thrive. These will be great for Barwon.

Broken Hill Ambulance Workers THE Ambulance workers out at Broken Hill do an amazing job looking after the health needs of the far western city. But there are some things that urgently need to be seen to so that they can continue their work. For one thing, their ambu-

Next week’s edition will be published on Wednesday. Deadline is 1pm Monday.

lance station is badly in need of an upgrade. I visited there last week to have a look at the station and to hear some of their concerns. There are also issues with rostering that need to be sorted out. Also problems with training new intensive care paramedics, who need to be sent away to be trained, resulting in the potential loss of people who want to stay. I spoke to one ambo, who said he would be forced to leave Broken Hill, if things continued the way they are. I spoke to a couple of other ambos, who had been sent to Broken Hill, but thought that there wasn’t enough of a career path or other incentives to keep staff there. Another concern is that the 500 new regional paramedics are not being sent to the most beneficial locations. These are things that I will be discussing with the Health Minister in Parliament.

Claire Kelly centenarian

ONE of my favourite parts of this job, is presenting constituents with certificates for amazing things that they have done. Last week, I had the absolute pleasure of presenting one to Broken Hill’s Claryce “Claire” Kelly, on the occasion of her 100th birthday. Born in Marrickville in 1924, Claire shared some great stories of her childhood and some of the mischief, I should say “fun”, she got up to. In her words: “I don’t think kids today have half the fun that we did.” She also talked about her time in the Army and living in a lot of different places before she ended-up in Broken Hill. Amazing stories from an amazing life! Claire still lives independently with some family living nearby. Here’s to many more birthdays, for Claire.

Child Protection Ball

LAST week, I joined around 200 people at the Child Protection Foundation 10th Anniversary Ball. This organisation is amazing. It sets-out to educate, raise awareness about child abuse, and give kids the tools and skills to help keep them safe, it’s a charitable organisation, that depends on donations to keep doing its work. My sister, Viktoriya, was kind enough to join me in a room of people that were all about protecting kids. So great to see so many people out in support of kids, their safety and the foundation. The Federal Member for Cook, Simon Kennedy was there. I have invited him to come for a run around Barwon to understand the different challenges we face. I will stay in touch with the Foundation through Bruce and Kerry (the founders) and try to help them spread their work across all regional NSW.

Roll-up! The biggest crowd in years, at annual Warren Show

From page 1 “A big ‘thank-you’ to the sponsors, Committee, and every volunteer who worked so hard to make the day happen.” With only loose-change entry to the event, Mr Sanderson revealed that gold coin takings were up more than $1000 over last year, while bar and barbecue takings, were also up. Entries into the Pavilion were very health as well, especially across the flower sections with a record-breaking more than 50 roses entered in the pink rose category alone. Chief Pavilion Steward, Karene Cosgrove, also added her acknowledgement for another successful Warren Show. “A massive ‘thank-you’ to all who put entries in the Pavilion, the stewards and helpers, judges, sponsors, and to all the community, for supporting our wonderful show,” Ms Cosgrove said. “The Pavilion looked magnificent,” she added. A major drawcard for the day, included the much-anticipated Quick Shear. The competition had plenty of entries, with a large crowd present for heats throughout the afternoon and the finals in the evening. Part of the NSW Speed Shear Circuit, competitors at the Warren Show accumulate points toward the top 10 showdown at Dubbo next month. Jacko Hira was winner of the Tommy Darcy Speed Shear Opens, followed by Darin Forde, and Budz Tawhiao. Stephan Kock won the Seniors, with Leight Bearman second, Jack Gadsby in third, and Emma Billet in fourth. Inters winner was Jack Simpson, while Emmit Bush was second, and Glen Darcy third. Katie Spicer Forde was winner of the Novice, with Will Selfe second, and Jye Wilson thirds. ‘The Fordes’ won the teams ‘Dash for Cash’. The lawn-mower races also attracted a huge crowd, with hundreds lining the track for all the action. Meanwhile, the reptile show, circus instructor and Fizzic’s Education stall, also proved popular for families. In the highly-entertaining wife-carrying competition, newly-weds Dave and Frankie Jenkins, were pipped at the post by John Ryan and Sumaya. The day was rounded-out with a huge fireworks display, sponsored by the Warren Services Club, concluding an excellently-attended and entertaining Warren Show. Photos: Warren Star.

WARREN STAR Local News for the Warren Shire Wednesday, May 29, 2024 LETTER TO THE EDITOR TO the Editor, It was a shame to hear the news last week that the Dolly Parton Festival in Narromine wouldn’t be going ahead due to funding issues. I can empathise with how excruciating it would have been for them to have to make that decision. It got me thinking, in an era of cuts and slashes, repositioning and reprioritising, doubt and uncertainty, it is important one mustn’t stop in their tracks. Cancelled festivals seem to be a regular occurrence these days. Putting on a festival of significance costs money, takes enormous effort to organise, can be niche in target audience, have seemingly narrow appeal, and occur in a tight time frame just once a year, or in our case once every two years. The Warren Chamber Music Festival (WCMF) will forge ahead with plans to present a festival of significance in 2025 for the Warren Shire. But what does an event of ‘significance’ look like? And how does it affect our community? The WCMF presents world class musicians in a series of concerts in the Warren Shire to enrich, educate and inspire audiences. The music presented is not dry or boring and certainly not designed only for people already familiar with classical music. An audience member won’t ever leave saying ‘this is not for me’. At the very least an audience member leaves one of our concerts thinking.... ‘Wow, I did not expect that!’ The recent cancellation of the Dolly Parton Festival made me wonder; should I just cancel the festival too, given the difficulties we also face? However, my mind turned to those that would then miss out if we had to.... the Warren accommodation in town wouldn’t book out their rooms, the four venues we’ll hire across Nevertire, Collie and Warren would be empty across much-needed, the coffees would not be served, the meals would not be bought, the newspaper would miss the advertising revenue and local content covering the event, the photographer wouldn’t be engaged, the live music schools workshops planned for up to 1000 students across Warren, Nyngan, Trangie, Narromine and Gilgandra wouldn’t occur, and the four spectacular concert programs planned in our Shire wouldn’t be there to attract visitors to our region giving a much needed boost to our town. That’s a lot of ‘missing out’ before I even equate how much our own community would miss if the actual music wasn’t played. Music that says what words cannot, music that makes you remember, grieve, celebrate, and imagine, music that stirs the soul, and music that is simply beautiful to listen to. Like the Dolly Festival, the WCMF is largely reliant on grant funding to make world class concerts with top international and nationally acclaimed artists affordable for all to enjoy. So I greatly anticipate the upcoming announcements regarding submitted grant applications. In the meantime, I will keep forging ahead with the WCMF committee to make the 2025 Warren Chamber Music Festival come alive! To make it all worth it, do please come along next May. Yours sincerely, Frances Evans Artistic Director, Warren Chamber Music Festival

Big success for local kids, at CWA Far West’s “Speak Out”

Winners of the years five and six Aidan Phillips (Trangie), Adele Cuscack (Narromine), Maddie Hunt (Warren), Louis Welsh (Warren) and Archie Craft (Narromine). By HARRIET GILMORE THERE were some great results recorded by Warren students at the CWA Far West “Speak Out” district event held in Narromine last week. The event included four pupils from St Mary’s Parish School, being selected after the local competition in midMay, to represent Warren at the next round of the speaking event by competing against almost 50 children from 11 schools across the district. From this group, Harriet McRae and Edwina Rindfleish, represented years three and four, while Maddie Hunt and Louis Welsh, represented years five and six from the School. In the final wash-up, Edwina was the Winner of the year three and four section, with Maddie coming-up trumps for years five and six. Louis Welsh was also awarded highly-com-

mended for the years five and six category. Full results from the event included, for Years Three and Four: f First Edwina Rindfleish, St Mary’s Parish School, f Second Maddison Pratten, St Augustine Narromine, f Highly Commended: Eliza Ryrie, Narromine Christian School, f Encouragement Awards: Charlie Carter, St Joseph’s Nyngan, and Tom Lukin, Nyngan Public School.

MORE than 100 local children descended on Warren Shire Library last week to take part in a national reading event. Students from Little Possums, Warren Preschool, and kindergarten pupils from St Mary’s Parish and Warren Central School last Wednesday all visited the Library for National Simultaneous Storytime. This is an annual event where a picture book, written and illustrated by an Australian author and illustrator, is read simultaneously in libraries, schools, preschools, childcare centres, family homes, bookshops, and many other places, around

the country. Now in its 24th successful year, the annual storytime event aims to promote the value of reading and literacy, using an Australian children’s book that explores age-appropriate themes, and addresses key learning areas of the National Curriculum for Foundation to Year Six. The 2024 featured story was “Bowerbird Blues” by Aura Parker, which tells the story of a beautiful bowerbird on the hunt for blue treasures. Following the story, the children set-off around the Library on a “blue treasure hunt”, just like the bowerbird from the story!

IT’S been an exciting week at St Mary’s Parish School with a range of activities to keep everyone busy. This included Year Six students performing at Mrs Plunkett’s Biggest Morning Tea; a wonderful opportunity for the children to showcase their talents and contribute to a vital fundraiser for the Cancer Council. The children also enjoyed mingling with community members and playing in Mrs Plunkett’s

garden: “We love attending each year!” a spokesperson from the School said. During Catholic Schools Week also, St Mary’s children had the wonderful opportunity to create their own Rosary Beads. This activity beautifully symbolises how individual pieces, when thoughtfully joined together, form something meaningful and complete. Just as each bead contributes

to the whole Rosary, each child’s unique qualities and contributions come-together to create our vibrant school community.

“We are proud of our children and their dedication to both their faith and their education,” the School spokesperson added.

The School’s regular academic, community, and civic awards, were also presented during the week.

By BRYSON LUFF THE two benchmark teams in the Christie and Hood Castlereagh League League Tag competition, the Dunedoo Swannettes and the Narromine Jets turned it on again, at Dunedoo’s Robertson Oval last Saturday, in what was a memorable Jessica Skinner Challenge Cup match. Since it’s inception in 2023, the Swannettes have been the only team to have held the Jessica Skinner Cup, that is, until last Saturday when the Jets won 26 to 22 in front of a large and appreciative crowd. In other League Tag news the Gulgong Terriers pulled of what many might consider to be an upset win over the previously undefeated Coolah Flyers at Coolah winning a tight game 14 to 12 after both sides had scored three tries. At Coonamble the Bearettes won another close game, taking down the Baradine Magpies 20 to 16 whilst Gilgandra’s Pink Panthers celebrated their fi rst win since 2022 after downing Binnaway 14 to four and Cobar were too strong for Coonabarabran winning 52 to four. Whilst the Skinner Cup may have found a new home, the Boronia Cup is staying in Coolah, with the ‘Roos fi rst defence of the prized silverware seeing them blitz the 2023 premiers, the Gulgong Terriers, to the tune of 56 to 14, romping in for five tries in each half in what was another very impressive display by the only unbeaten side in the fi rst-grade competition this year. The ’Roos will not be defending the Cup next Saturday as they will be heading up to Baradine to take on a Magpies outfit that would have been disappointed in their 48 to 18 capitulation to Coonamble last weekend. The win was the Bears for the season and one that will give the red and blacks a degree of confidence going into their round six clash against Narromine at Narromine this weekend. The remaining fi rst grade game saw the Cobar Roost-

ers bounce back from their loss at home to Coolah the previous week to just edge out the Coonabarabran Unicorns in a hard-fought affair at Coonabarabran, the fi nal score being 32 to 28. The Unicorns will head down the Newell to resume their friendship with the Gilgandra Panthers this Saturday, and this is very much shaping as a game in which the Panthers must make a statement as to their ability to climb the ladder after a disappointing start to their season which has thus far only netted them one win.

RACING NG ORT REPORT By COLIN HODGES

Raced at Dubbo, Saturday May 25 BRED, owned and trained by Tamworth based Wayne Brown, the six-year-old mare Deep Rouge charged home to win the $50,000 Arrowfield Queen Of The West-Mercedes Benz Handicap in an exciting fi nish on Saturday at Dubbo. Attracting a bumper crowd of around 2,000 to the TAB meeting, the Benchmark 82 feature race brought together a classy field of fillies and mares with the Wayne Collison, Narromine trained Sisters Pick shooting for three successive wins starting favourite. From the outside barrier, Sisters Pick crossed quickly to the lead and turned for home in front with Moetta, Arimathea, Transplant and Brief Statement the nearest pursuers while Deep Rouge was midfield on the rails. Exceptionally well ridden by emerging apprentice Siena Grima, Deep Rouge ($6) gained clear running and fi nished fast down the centre to overhaul Sisters Pick (Cobi Vitler, $2.70 favourite) in the final strides and win by a short neck with Watch Me Rumble (Ben Looker, $7) a half neck way third. Bouzy Rouge, the dam of Deep Rouge, was a very good

Western Racing Report performer and when trained by Luke Griffith for Wayne Brown won nine races including the 2013 Coonabarabran Cup when ridden by Greg Ryan and in 2014 the Listed-Mona Lisa at Wyong with Winona Costin in the saddle. Two-year-old chestnut fi lly Singing Star emerged as an early favourite for the Kings Hall Jewellers Silver Goblet at Dubbo on June 7 when winning the 1000 metres Preview. Trained at Wyong by Damien Lane, Singing Star had won a Trial at Randwick in impressive fashion and again looked above average when leading throughout at Dubbo at Dubbo with Ben Looker the rider. Singing Star ($2.50 to $3.20) won by over two lengths from the more experienced Saint Philomena (Jake Pracey-Holmes, $2.70 to $2.50 favourite) and Fortians (Will Stanley, $10). Bathurst trainer Dean Mirfi n had the disappointment of seeing Scopics ($26) beaten a nose in the Highway Handicap at Randwick on Saturday however shortly afterwards he won the 2200 metres Mercedes Benz Dubbo-Benchmark 66 Handicap at Dubbo with Don Stefano. Given a good run behind the leader by Cobi Vitler, Don Stefano ($2.70 fav.)hit the front in the straight and held on to score by a short neck from the fast fi nishing D’Oro Choice (Will Stanley, $5) with Rufus Winwright (Ken Dunbar, $6.50) a length away third. Another Bathurst trainer, Gayna Williams, won

the 1600 metres MAAS Mile Class 1 and Maiden Plate with Miss Monopoly. Coming from midfield to take the lead from Governor General in the straight, Miss Monopoly (Will Stanley, $15) and Shamister (Jake Pracey-Holmes, $12) had a great battle with Miss Monopoly prevailing by a neck while I’m Scarlett (Ben Looker, $8) fi lled third place. Gulgong trainer Brett Thompson supplied the quinella in the 1000 metres Mercedes-Benz AMG63 Country Boosted Benchmark 58 Handicap when Cumnock (Jessica Brookes, $8.50) fi nished best to account for Dupenny (Mikayla Weir, $5) and Midnight Dream (Shayleigh Ingelse, $4.80 to $4 favourite). The other winners were the Rod Northam trained debut maker Speck (Shae Wilkes, $12), Naval Destroyer (Jake Pracey-Holmes, $2.20 to $1.80 fav.) trained by Cameron Crockett and Compelling Truth (Coriah Keatings, $1.95 to $1.60 fav.) from the Mack Griffith stable.

Raced at Cootamundra, Saturday, May 18 MAKING up for the washout of the annual race day in April, Cootamundra Picnic Race Club on Saturday hosted an outstanding Community race meeting. Transferred from Young, the non-TAB meeting had a higher level of prizemon-

ey than picnic races and was contested by jockeys from the professional ranks. Formerly from Tullibigeal and for many years a very successful trainer at Wagga Wagga, Gary Colvin won the feature race with Nic’s Hero. Crucial Witness established four lengths lead with Nic’s Hero back running midfield but gaining ground approaching the home turn in the 1400 metres Inland Rail Benchmark 74 Handicap. Taking control in the straight, Nic’s Hero ($2.50 fav) well ridden by apprentice Holly Durnan won by almost 5 lengths from Super Riff (Mathew Cahill, $5) and Crucial Witness (Damon Budler, $5). Holly Durnan made it a double when winning the 1400 metres Twin Hills Stud Maiden Plate on That’s The Word for Canberra trainer Darryl Rolfe. Coming from near last, That’s The Word, $8) beat another strong fi nisher Flying Celebration (Jake Barrett, $6) by a neck while a half-length away in third was Suspicious Time (Damon Budler, $5). Racing in the blue and white colours of retail giant Gerry Harvey and trained at Queanbeyan by Joe Cleary, Rappelling ($3) was given a charmed run behind the leaders by Mathew Cahill before scoring by a length from Jeffo (Will Stanley, $5) and Pressalina (Jake Barrett, $11) in the 1200 metres Long Track Pantry and T and D Shearing Maiden Handicap.

Switched around the leaders heels halfway down the straight in the 1200 metres Albion Hotel Benchmark 50 Handicap, the Garry Kirkup, Canberra trained Ferrari Girl (Amy O’Driscoll, $2.10 fav.) overhauled Yael’s Delight (Mathew Cahill, $4.40) to win by a long neck with Unspoken Star ($5) in third place. Second leg of a double for apprentice Amy O’Driscoll was the Donna Scott, Albury trained New Jersey in the 1400 metres Dawson & Partners And Rotor Solutions Class One Handicap. Leading all the way, New Jersey ($2 fav.) won by over two lengths from Laser Guided Girl (Jake Barrett, $4) and Gifted Curves (Holly Durnan, $13). Amy O’Driscoll had her fi rst race ride in late March at Tocumwal and over the following six weeks has ridden 5 winners from 20 rides. Orange based Will Stanley who married fellow jockey Chelsea Ings last week recouped some of the wedding expenses when he won the 1200 metres Australian Meat Group Class 2 Handicap on the Sharon Jeffries, Parkes trained Sauce Dragon. Sauce Dragon ($2.80 fav.) which had good form on central west tracks, led throughout to account for Uprise (Richard Bensley, $8) and Love Rat (Teaghan Martin, $10). Cootamundra has a very good track and facilities.

Nation’s future in regional study throughout Australia according to RAI chief REGIONAL Australia Institute (RAI) is hoping to see more regional-based people be able to study closer to home after the federal budget was released. Regional Australia Institute (RAI) CEO Liz Ritchie said last week’s painted a picture of regional Australia’s new leading role in the nation’s future prosperity and sustainability and in Australia’s place as a world leader in renewable energy technologies. Ms Ritchie believes regional Australia is at the epicentre of the federal government’s future made in Australia ambitions, with plans to attract global investment in the development of home-grown critical minerals, low emission liquid fuels, and green hydrogen. The RAI is eagerly anticipating the expansion of the New Energy Apprentice-

ship Programs and Regional Workforce Transition Plans, particularly the regional application of these programs. Ms Ritchie hopes for a model where school leavers from Balranald in south-western NSW could study at Mildura, 159km from home, rather than Melbourne (430km) or Sydney (850km). Translated to the Central West, that would mean people in Gilgandra, Narromine, Nyngan and Warren studying at Dubbo, Orange or Bathurst rather than having to go to Sydney, Newcastle, Wollongong or interstate. “The signature $1.7 billion Future Made in Australia Innovation Fund to develop new energy technologies is the key to injecting huge economic stimulus across regional Australia and to invigorate regions transitioning away from

fossil fuel dependency,” Ms Ritchie said. “This hallmark policy is underpinned by a significant suite of skills packages which will be vital in our global race to transition to a net zero nation. “We welcome the significant investment of over $200 million across the decade for the Energy Industry Jobs Plan, and the expansion of the New Energy Apprenticeship Programs and Regional Workforce Transition Plans. “We look forward to learning more about the regional application of these programs. “Place-based, well-paid, sustainable jobs for regional Australians are a starting point for the social licence to operate these industries of the future. “We want to see school leavers in Balranald, for example – those wanting to pursue a ca-

reer in the burgeoning local critical minerals sector – able to study in nearby Mildura, not Sydney or Melbourne. The future must be made in regional Australia.” Ms Ritchie said the Government had correctly committed almost $21 million per annum for the next seven years to engage and empower communities affected by the energy transition regarding land access and planning approvals process. “We continue to seek at least 40 per cent of this investment quarantined for regional Australia,” she said. “The current program’s design and application process will almost certainly exclude small regional communities, where the infrastructure funding gaps are largest. “The Government’s State of the Housing System 2024

report showed that in every state, bar Western Australia and South Australia, right up and down the eastern seaboard, rental affordability is worse in regional areas than in the respective capitals.

“The effects of regional Australia’s housing shortage are cascading through to the most vulnerable in our regional communities, local renters in particular. It is in these communities where the need for social housing is greatest.”

The RAI welcomes a range of budget measures which speak directly to research by the RAI, including around the net zero transition in regional Australia, regional workforces, regional skills and regional childcare.
